I need help. I have no idea what else to do with my three year old little boy.
He is aggressive ALL the time (also have a 16 mo boy). Once he decides that something is his or he is not going to something it is a battle. We are to the point that I am considering seeing a child psychologist. His behavior is to the point that he cant make friends. Example: At "school" (mothers day out on Tuesday and Thursday) older children will see me walk through the door (they all know he is my child because of his behavior) and tell me how he hits, didn't share, how "mean" he is, etc. Today I picked him up from school and he had 3 time outs for hitting. We get in the car and he starts using words that we do not use aka: stupid and weird and saying that he does not have any friends. We get home and he tells me that he does not want to go back to school because his friends called him those names and said he didn't have any friends. I understand that it is hard for him. I understand that he is 3 years old. I understand that some children say mean things. I'm afraid that he is going to end up being a "mean" child.
My husband and I have already decided to not put him back in this m.d.o next year, but I don't even know if that will help.
We are compassionate with his feelings, but from his point of view I would probably be a little angry and/or hurt if I was in time out often and consistently got called names and felt as if I had no friends.
He has a wonderful huge heart and there are so many great qualities that I cant name them all, but I don't know what to do to help him. And to help me be a better mother to a strong willed child.
Friends, please help.
